It’s amazing how many people hate home runs, launch angle, spin rate & 100mph fastballs. Cause that’s exactly what the “nerds” have propelled into baseball. Without them, people like me never would have a chance to play. https://twitter.com/aubrey_huff/status/1275467271901786112
There’s plenty of players who can make it without fully buying in to “new school” baseball. However, these new statistics are allowing players to revive their careers. Teams can now find FA’s who have great spin rate, & help them become a better pitcher.
They can find hitters who have high exit velo and teach them to hit the ball in the air. Not to mention how much new training methods are allowing players to get better and develop. It’s all for the greater good of baseball. Time to start getting on board. 👍
